mate, its a small tyre... not a full sized one.. but yes .. my car does not have a spare tyre but an inflatable kit..as for improving fuel consumption.. yes there is a definte co-relation between weight and fuel consumption

That is the first thing I do after collected my car.

hmm so in some sense, i did the correct thing

Removing the spare tire has another benefit. It increases our boot space.

[Guest hkhamateur]

Agreed w all. :becky:

I'd my spare tires removed on all my other rides....:hand:

[Guest Wes23]

IMHO, I dun think it is a very wise thing to do. My previous car I removed my spare tyre to fit my 2 woofers... But my tyre was punctured once and I had to call for tow truck... I wish I had the spare tyre then...

Especially when in Malaysia, a spare tyre and a can of pressurised sealant is important. I even have a pump to inflate my tyre.

Learned the convenience of having a pump on the last Sgmerc trip to Penang.

I won't n never drive my car regardless of what model to Malaysia and allow those organized crimes targeted my car

Remember recently an uncle drive up north to play golf with his friends n his car was stolen while he is eating. He complaint on tv news and within 3

days Malaysia polic found his car after the JB sultan ask the police to work harder

Spare is not full-size one meh? My W204 came with full sized and matching alloy rims too.

You are missing the fun part of driving a Mercedes-Benz if you don't take your car to NSHW. The merc is built for the autobahn and it is a pleasure to drive there, not necessary that we have to go fast.

I would urge you to join in the Sgmerc drive to Malaysia.

Btw, there is another auntie's car got stolen in JB, and was recovered a few weeks later with additional items free. A car alarm was fitted into her car that was not there before it was stolen.

Your car had a high OMV than current one

Surprised by the FC w/o the spare tyre.

Travel to work n back home journey n check the FC on the meter, for both trips it was 8.1L/km. previous with spare tyre at the boot, it was 8.6L/km.

The Overall FC for current tank also drop from 9.1 to 8.9L/km
